Weather on our side as we walked the Port Sunlight to Hooton section of the Trail.
Another good day for plants, as you can see. Bromborough Pool Village & Port Sunlight Village are well worth the visit; linked with Price's Patent Candle Company and the Lever Factory respectively. Eastham Country Park is a wildlife haven with oh so many grey squirrels.
